->Collot d'Herbois, incredulous, half-contemptuous, did not altogether approve of these schemes, which seemed to him wild and uncanny; he liked the direct simplicity of a summary trial, of the guillotine, or of his own well stage-managed "Noyades." He did not feel that any ridicule or dishonour would necessarily paralyze a man in his efforts at intrigue, and would have liked to set Chauvelin's authority aside, to behead the woman upstairs and then to take his chance of capturing the man later on.-->-- ''[[Literature/TheScarletPimpernel The Elusive Pimpernel]]'', Chapter 24

->A good roadie knows that it's his job to make someone else look good, keep someone else safe, help someone else do what they were put here to do. A good roadie stays out of the spotlight; if he's doing his job right, you don't even know he was there. Once in a while, they might step on stage to fix a problem, to set something right, but then before you realize why he was there, or what he did, he's gone.-->-- '''Eddie Riggs''', ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend''

->It should be a great story for the Doctor as portrayed by anybody, because he gets to enjoy a reunion with the Brigadier (Creator/NicholasCourtney can usually develop chemistry with any actor in the titular role) and face a moral dilemma that any actor worth his salt would get his teeth into. In both of these instances, [[Creator/PeterDavison Davison]] lets the side down; his reaction to the Brigadier’s amnesia is one of [[DullSurprise mild annoyance]] where some passion might have [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan knocked the memories back into him]], and he emotes the end of episode three (‘It would mean the end of me as a Time Lord!‘) like he is telling a kid what is on the menu tonight (replace with ‘it would mean ''fingers and chips for tea tonight''[=‘=] and you’ll see what I mean)...I wanted to see a man with the weight of his future lives about to stolen from him, not an actor wondering when the coffee break is going to be. Davison was not happy with the scripts for season 20 and [[ArtistDisillusionment these are the moments when it shows]]. Compared with the complexities that Nicholas Courtney is working into his performance, Davison's is sadly deficient.-->--'''[[http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.com/2011/09/season-twenty.html Joe Ford]]''' on ''Series/DoctorWho'', [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS20E3MawdrynUndead}} "Mawdryn Undead"]]

->'''David''': Lois’s hypeman speech once Clark saves her was a) stolen from ''Film/PulpFiction'' and b) totally against the idea of Superman. AND SUPERMAN WILL STRIKE DOWN UPON THEE WITH GREAT VENGEANCE AND FURIOUS ANGER!\\'''Chris''': That was one of the few parts of the episode [[ActuallyPrettyFunny I actually liked]]. Lois is totally the kind of girl who would quote ''Pulp Fiction'' at [[{{Amish}} the only people who wouldn’t know the reference]] just to play on their fear of the Bible. I can’t believe I’m defending this, but I do kind of like the idea that ''Smallville'' Clark just [[HenpeckedHusband totally lets Lois do whatever she wants]] once she gets going.\\'''David''': That just seems to me a side effect of the fact that Clark basically lets '''[[ExtremeDoormat anybody]]''' do whatever they want once they get going.\\'''Chris''': Touche.-->--Chris Sims and David Uzumeri [[http://comicsalliance.com/smallville-recap-episode-10-6-harvest/ on]] ''{{Series/Smallville}}'' ("Harvest")
